Re: What years are tower clamps correct for?

My 69 also came with tower clamps on the radiator hoses. The heater hoses had either Corbin (spring wire type) or tower clamps. I don't recall which. The Assembly and Service Manuals show Corbin clamps on the heater hoses through 69 and tower clamps on the 70s. I opted for the Corbin clamps on my resto. The A/C hoses were clamped with a unique type of gear clamps. They had an added piece that positioned them the proper distance from the ends of the hoses. I think 1970 was the first year for the crimped A/C hoses.

I couldn't find any pics of the radiator hose attachment in either the Service Manual or Assembly Manual.
